NEED PITMAN ARM for pwr steering

Post by fonzf100s »

Hey all, Anyone have a pitman arm with either of these numbers they would like to sell me, or know where to buy one new? D2TA-3590-BA, or C9TA-3590-E,
I have a manual and a Bendix pitman arm, but just put in a quick ratio ford pwr gear so I need a pitman arm. Either will work, cause I'm putting in all new tie rods, drag link so I can go either way as long as it is for a ford gear. Thanks a lot guys, and I would like for it to be in good shape, i.e. the splines, etc.

I think they changed in '73 or '74, bigger stuff like tie rod end. Thanks a lot for replying, and maybe Keith knows for sure.

i think the 73 and up are the sane as the D2 arm. the arm i have is on a 77 box. and i removed the box from the truck myself. josh scrap the dirt off of the arm you have and post the numbers for him. i bet the numbers are the same.

I'm pretty sure I have the C9TA-3590-E pitman arm but I can't find the pics right now. I'll keep looking and just go get it from the shop later - send me a PM or I'll send you one. But wait.... mine came off a '67 Bendix power box so it can't be a C9 number. I'll have to verify......

Look at the tutorial for disc brake conversion, It explains the different pitman arms.

Hey, if you've got a Pitman arm from a Bendix set-up I'd really like to get some good close-up pictures of it, as well as the casting numbers. If it's removed from the steering box, it would be great to also have some measurements taken between the holes. Thanks!

I guess I always lucked out. I gor several boxes over the years from dentsides and used them on bumps and never knew until years later there were 2 different arms. I put most of them on F-250s though. Also all the pitman arms I used said power steering right on them so I never looked for a number.
Great ideas have always encounter violent opposition from mediocre minds.

Here are a couple pics from before I removed it. I can get more of it now (removed) if needed. This came off Bendix Power steering box on a '67 Ranger. I also have two '69s(one F100 and one F250, both Rangers) with the Bendix PS box.
